It will be a BIG disappointment to bun. If you do show up, I will buy you a beer, and talk to you face to face, about HWR, as you are the only one that....use it. And you and I can quip about this 1st SSU update in private....to the bottom of it, literally.

But it's all just pointless; Nokia has made it clear that they don't want a stylus-driven handheld, but rather a finger-prodded iClone; they don't want a device for entering content, they want a consumer-targeted, no-brain PMP (probably because those customers tend to be less intelligent and therefore less bothersome).
So why should I fight windmills?

Finally, the one that fights with windmills did go down in history, right? Dont you want to leave a footprint in maemo history, KJ?
Oh, I have never touch a Newton. I heard about it, and read about it and that is it. I used a TI99 and TRS-80.

Looking at the current Saturday schedule I'm almost glad that I can't be there.. I would be totally frustrated by the fact that so many interesting sessions are scheduled at the same time! The choices.. I would have wanted to attend most of them.

Let's hope there are enough people with video cameras that we can catch up on the missed content in time to ask questions outside the specific talks, etc.

Hey, if I could go to the Summit I also would have liked to have Karel there.. I'm sure more than a few people would like to get some kick-ar*e devil's advocate arguments served up front, no prisoners taken.
